Oni's second poetry book Spring has just been selected as a Poetry Honors title for the Massachusetts Book Award, along with Jorie Graham's Sea Change and the Award winner, The Ghost Soldiers, by James Tate. Judges wrote that Spring is "a work that grips down and awakens the very roots of the poetic process, that is still and still moving, a 'journeywork' as Whitman might have called it; a multidimensional text that will transform the way Buchanan’s generation and future generations of poets approach poem-making."

To hear a discussion of Spring, listen to a podcast interview that Sharon Howell--poet, scholar, and Harvard lecturer in History and Literature--just conducted with Oni in June.
